Well, they were from top to bottom!
And they didn't have a noticeable fragrance.
I'm going to take a pic of the entire tree today...

Jeff, Casey, Shirley....I think you all should be awarded a statue of St. Fiacre, the patron saint of gardeners
(p. s. he's also the patron saint of cab drivers, for heaven's sake....)

And here are some of the blossoms on the tree, about 7 feet up - but they go all the way to the top!
